Annual  Meeting --- 2015

September 17^th - 20^th, 2015 (Thursday - Sunday)
Holiday Inn, New London, CT

New London is a seaport city and a port of entry on the northeast coast of the United States. It is located at the mouth of the Thames River in New London County, southeastern Connecticut. For several decades beginning in the early 19th century, New London was the world's third busiest whaling port after New Bedford, Massachusetts, and Nantucket. The wealth that whaling brought into the city furnished the capital to fund much of the city's present architecture.

Front Row: Earl and Chris Cory, Chris Koehler, Sue and John Corey.
Second Row: Marilyn Corey, Pat and Les Cory.
Top Row: Colin Cory, Ethan Corey, Dave Cory

This year, 2015, marks the 375th anniversary of the founding of Southold, Long Island. It was the first English settlement in New York State. John Cory, one of the earliest settlers in Southold, came to America in about 1637. “We believe that he was one of the men who assisted John Youngs on October 21, 1640 in the organization of the First (Presbyterian) Church at Southold, Long Island, New York. (see photo below). John Cory is mentioned as being from Southold and as the Whale Commissioner 7 March 1644.”
